Welcome back to the Rent To Retirement Podcast with hosts Matthew Seyoum and Zach Lemaster.

In this episode, Zach reveals one of the strongest builder incentive opportunities we’ve seen — brand new, A-Class construction rental properties in Texas that are already leased and cash flowing from day one.

Because some builders’ fiscal years end in Q1, they’re offering aggressive incentive structures to move excess inventory — including over $40,000 in incentives on select properties.

These are limited-time deals ending Friday, March 13th at 5PM Pacific, and once the inventory is gone, it’s gone.

If you’re looking to maximize ROI, reduce upfront capital, or buy down interest rates significantly, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

⏱ Key Timestamps

00:00 – Introduction from Zach & Matthew

00:32 – Why Q1 creates unique builder opportunities

01:15 – $40,000+ incentive structures explained

02:00 – How institutional buying power benefits individual investors

02:50 – Using incentives: cash back, rate buy-down, price reduction

03:30 – Rates potentially in the 3s or 4s depending on structure

04:15 – Brand new A-Class Texas properties already leased

05:00 – No vacancy, no leasing fees, cash flow from day one

05:40 – Incentives expire March 13th at 5PM Pacific

These properties offer:

• Brand new construction

• Tenant already in place

• Immediate cash flow

• No lease-up risk

• Massive incentive flexibility

• Economies of scale typically reserved for institutions

This is how individual investors can access institutional-level buying advantages.

If you’re serious about scaling your rental portfolio and taking advantage of limited inventory opportunities, now is the time to act.
